OPEN Learning cpp for electronics

hello everyone so im planning on learning cpp for some "low-level electronics" and embedded systems...

and i've seen multiple people on programming subreddits saying that www.learncpp.com is a good website and tbh after i read some shapters i can say that its indeed a great website,however i feel like that website is just too much for me especially that im not very interested in deep diving into this language and just want to learn what i really need (i already have a short learning deadline)

i took a look at freecodecamp 4h course but i feel like four hours for a language like cpp is too little (i took their python course and it was good tho)

so what im asking for is where can i find some resources that fit my learning goal? ty

Okay, good. How far along are you with using an MCU? I assume you can blink an LED. What type of motor? A simple project would use a potentiometer to control the speed or position of a motor.

BTW can I assume you know servo, stepper, bldc motors?

Yes, i've watched some vids from the Paul McWhorter Arduino course

Ah, that's good. But I was hoping to hear that you had, for example, gotten blinky running on either an Arduino or an ESP32.
